1. INTRODUCTION TO THE COSPAS-SARSAT SYSTEM
A. The COSPAS-SARSAT* system
The purpose of the COSPAS-SARSAT satellite system is to detect and locate all distress signals
transmitted by aeronautical, maritime or land-based beacons, for the search and rescue organizations.
This program is the result of an international collaboration between the United States, Canada and France
on the one hand (SARSAT project), and Russia on the other hand (COSPAS project). These two projects
are fully compatible.
Since the first results were obtained several countries have joined the program. Several other countries
have shown an interest and will soon be joining the COSPAS-SARSAT system partners.
ELTA in relation with CNES (French National Space Agency) has developed the complete range of products
required for COSPAS-SARSAT system operation.
Following an in-depth study phase, ELTA has arrived at highly conclusive technical results, and
experimental and operational use of the "ground" equipment have proven this equipment's reliability and
ease-of-use.
B. System organization (Ref. Fig. 1)
In the COSPAS-SARSAT system, space equipment is placed on board several satellites in low near-polar
orbit to capture transmissions from emergency transmitters and to retransmit these signals to specialized
ground stations called Local User Terminals (LUT). These ground stations determine the position of the
emergency transmitters and then retransmit the position data to the designated Mission Control Centers
(MCC). The MCCs in turn retransmit these data to the appropriate Rescue Coordination Centers (RCC) so
that they can start the search and rescue operations.

C. The distress frequencies
There are several advantages to using the 406 MHz frequency :
– Worldwide coverage: locating is not only possible in real-time within a radius of 2,500 km around the
station, but also in global mode outside this zone since the satellites memorize the messages on the 406
MHz frequency. Location process uses Doppler effect.
– Locating accuracy: 2 km as opposed to 10 to 15 km in the 121.5 MHz or 243 MHz frequencies. It should
be noted however that the 406 MHz beacons also transmit 121.5 MHz and 243 MHz signals which
enable the final approach of the rescue teams in homing mode.
– Information reliability: the structure of the digital signal transmitted by these beacons makes it possible to
be sure that there is actually a distress situation, as well as to identify automatically the mobile in distress
which is vital for rescue operations.
– Unique identification: each beacon has it’s own identification information.
D. ELTA and the COSPAS-SARSAT system
(1)406 MHz distress beacons:
These beacons transmit to the satellites a digital message which identifies them and gives their position,
as well as a signal that facilitates the final approach of the rescue teams.
They are suitable for all types of use (maritime, aeronautical and land) and can, depending on the model,
be activated manually or automatically. They are designed to function in the most extreme conditions with
a high degree of reliability.
(2)Satellites low earth orbiting:
At least four satellites are permanently operational. Since their orbit is near-polar, in the worst case every
point on Earth is overflown every two hours.
In a ground station's visibility zone, the satellites directly transmit the messages captured in that zone, and
also any messages from the zones not covered that they have stored in memory.
(3)Geo-stationary satellites are now available in the system and offer faster detection capability (close to 5
minutes) but require a GPS receiver to supply location that is sent via C/S message.
(4)Ground reception stations:
The zone effectively covered (or visibility zone) is a circle with a radius of 2,500 km around the station.
These stations receive (via the satellites) and process, in real time, the messages from the beacons
activated in their visibility zone and, in batch mode, the messages from the 406 MHz beacons activated
outside that zone and memorized by the satellites.
Automatic processing of the 406 MHz digital messages allows the beacons to be located and the carrier
mobile to be identified.

2. GENERAL DETAILS OF THE ELT ADT 406 S
A. Purpose of the ELT ADT 406 S (Ref. Fig. 2)
The ELT ADT 406 S consists of a beacon that incorporates means of attachment.
The ELT ADT 406 S is designed to transmit a digital distress signal to satellites that are part of the
COSPAS/SARSAT SYSTEM.
These satellites transmit the captured signal to the reception stations on the ground.
This signal is transmitted on the 406.028 MHz frequency and is used to precisely locate and identify the
ELT ADT 406 S.
It also transmits a 121.5 MHz and 243 MHz signal to facilitate the final approach of the distress scene
(homing).
It can be triggered manually or automatically by means of a water sensor.
This ELT meets the latest JAR OPS and ICAO recommendations.
Any encoding protocol defined by COSPAS/SARSAT can be used with ELT ADT 406 S including country
code assignation.

4. INSTALLATION OF THE ELT ADT 406 S
A. General
System security and reliability obviously depends on the standard of installation.
In order to ensure installation of the highest standard, the installation operations must be :
– performed in conformity with this document,
– performed in compliance with the current regulations,
– performed by qualified personnel,
– performed so that :
. the aircraft's structural integrity is not affected,
. it will not hinder the pilot in normal position,
. it will not cause any damage in the event of an accident,
. it will not prevent or modify operation of the other safety systems.
If in doubt, contact the aircraft manufacturer or its representative,
– inspected by representative authority.
B. Installation of the beacon on the aircraft (Ref. Fig. 4)
The beacon shall be installed in any position in the aircraft , but the switch and the water sensor /
identification module must be protected from passengers to exclude false activations.
Unstowed objects must be not able to impact the beacon.
In case of use the support, attach the beacon to the fuselage of the aircraft by means of four M4 bolts. Four
5 mm diameter holes at the corners of a 210 mm x 45 mm rectangle are drilled in the beacon support.
Particular care must be taken with this attachment. Standard industry means must be used to lock the
screws. Use flat washer in order to avoid paint damage.
The attachment points are similar to those of the ADT 406 AF/AP beacon.

June 6/05
5. UTILIZATION OF THE ELT ADT 406 S (Ref. Fig. 5)
CAUTION : IN THE EVENT OF UNTIMELY BEACON ACTIVATION, SHUTDOWN THE BEACON AND
INFORM THE CLOSEST SEARCH AND RESCUE (SAR) OR AIRPORT CONTROL TOWER
IMMEDIATELY.
The ELT ADT 406 can be activated in two modes :
– automatic when the water sensor is triggered,
– manual.
A. Automatic activation
The aircraft has to be evacuated, the beacon is removed from is support or bag and dip to the water with
the survivals.
The water sensor has detected sufficient water to trigger it. The indicator light (2) and the aural indicator
indicate beacon activation.
Do not do anything and leave the beacon in operation until the rescue team arrives.
B. Manual activation
There are two cases in which a distress signal may be triggered manually :
– the water sensor has not been triggered but a distress signal must be sent (injured passengers, aircraft
out of operation ...),
– the aircraft is on the ground and must be evacuated.
From the beacon :
Place the beacon switch (3) in the ON position (pull and slide), and do not do anything.
An automatic self-test sequence is performed.
After the beacon enter in a waiting condition for about 30s. This state is displayed by flashing on indicator
light (2) 1.75 s ON, 0.25 s OFF. This delay will avoid unwanted activation (false manoeuvre).
Then the indicator light (2) and the aural indicator indicate beacon activation. The actual distress signal
is transmitted. This state is displayed by flashing on indicator light : 0.5 s ON, 0.5 s OFF.
CAUTION : IN THE TWO CASES OF ACTIVATION, MAKE SURE THAT THE ANTENNA MUST BE
DEPLOYED AND IN VERTICAL POSITION. FOR MAXIMUM POWER TRANSMISSION THE
ANTENNA MUST BE IN A UNOBSTRUCTED AREA FAR FROM ANY METALIC PIECES.
USER’S HANDBOOK
Page 25
June 6/05
C. How to remove the beacon from the bracket
If the aircraft has to be evacuated, Follow the instructions :
- unfasten the retaining Velcro strap (not illustrated),
- remove the beacon from its bracket,
pull firmly to brake the retaining metallic strap
(see Ref.9, Fig. 5).
- deploy the antenna, take the beacon with you, switch it ON
and evacuate aircraft with the beacon.
The best data transmission of the beacon is obtained in
water floating condition (don’t forget to anchor the beacon to
the survival or to the life raft with the orange lanyard
attached to the beacon front panel).
We recommended to place the beacon in an unobstructed
area (avoiding transmission masks), and check regularly
that the antenna is vertical. If necessary shim the beacon
vertically (e.g. in case of windswept area).
USER’S HANDBOOK
Page 26
June 6/05
D. Beacon shutdown
In the event of a false manoeuvre or untimely operation, shutdown the beacon.
The beacon is shutdown by place the ARMED/OFF/ON toggle switch (3) in OFF position..
CAUTION : THE BEACON MUST BE SHUTDOWN BEFORE ANY MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS ARE
PERFORMED.
THE BEACON MUST BE COMPLETELY SHUTDOWN BEFORE IT IS REMOVED AND IT'S
ARMED/OFF/ON TOGGLE SWITCH SHALL BE IN OFF POSITION.
E. Beacon self-test
CAUTION : THE SELF-TEST SHALL BE PERFORMED WITHIN THE FIRST 5.MN OF ANY HOUR
BECAUSE THE ELT IS SENDING 121.5 MHZ SIGNAL FOR 5 S DURING THIS PROCESS
(LIMITATION OF FALSE ALERT).
The ELT ADT 406 S is designed to perform a self-test, by using the TEST push button, when the
ON/OFF/ARMED toggle switch is in ARMED position.
Actual test transmission on 121.5 MHz for 5 s can be listen on any VHF receiver.
REMOVE THE BEACON FROM HIS BRACKET AND EXTAND THE ANTENNA BEFORE SELF-TEST,
HOLD THE BEACON AT ARM’S LENGTH IN THE AISLE TO FREE THE ANTENNA FROM THE WALL.
Place the beacon's ARMED/OFF/ON toggle switch (3) in ARMED position to authorize self test process.
Press TEST pushbutton (12) until the two acknowledgment blink on LED.
After the two short blinks (acknowledgment) and a delay of 3 s, check that the indicator light (2) comes ON
and the beacon's buzzer sounds during 6s.
After a brief blink the self-test report is display :
– 10 s permanent illumination of the indicator light (2) for correct operation,
– 10 s blinking condition of the indicator light (2) for failure detection.
Blinking rate indicates the failure source detection as follow :
. 125 ms ON, 125 ms OFF (Frequency 4 Hz), ELT Check Sum failure (software problem)
. 250 ms ON, 250 ms OFF (Frequency 2 Hz), ELT power failure (UHF and/or VHF)
. 500 ms ON, 500 ms OFF (Frequency 1 Hz), signal identification missing.
The self test is finished and the beacon return in ARMED mode.

6. MAINTENANCE OF THE ELT ADT 406 S
A. Beacon self-test
The manufacturer recommends that a beacon self-test should be performed regularly. The highest rate is
one per week. Generally, airlines added this task to other periodic maintenance task such a “A” check. In all
events the user must comply with the applicable regulations in the country concerned governing the self-
test period.
The self-test must only be performed when the order to do so is given or by the competent authorities.
A higher rate of self-test will reduce the 5 years battery servicing.
CAUTION : THE SELF-TEST PROCEDURE (PARAGRAPH 5.E.) MUST BE RESPECTED TO AVOID
UNTIMELY BEACON ACTIVATION.
B. Water Sensor test
The water sensor should be tested at the periodic maintenance task. Place the ARMED/OFF/ON toggle
switch (3) in ARMED, and make a short circuit between the two hexagon socket screws of the water
sensor assy.
This short circuit must during 2 at 3 second permanently to activate the beacon. When the beacon is
activated switch OFF the beacon and return in ARMED if necessary. The water sensor work correctly.
C. Maintenance periodicity table
